Recently did a factory reset of my phone to free up some system memory. As I was trying to get my phone setup back the way I had it ( first ever reset) I decided to do something different and ran BK manager to block some bloatware for hogging all the functional memory instead of disabling them in app manager like I did before. Well I got a little trigger happy and disabled Samsung kies. I didn't know what it was. It looked like a lot of other BS Samsung apps. Later I tried to download Netflix and I kept getting an error message stating that the app did not support rooted phones. Not sure what I did but some other apps that used to work no longer work either. I went back into BK and App manager and Samsung kies is nowhere to be found. How do I get it back? Is this even the problem or did I accidentally root my phone somehow? Please help. Thank you.

Every galaxy gear app is stuck at installing. The watch and phone are working fine together other than that. Non-Gear samsung apps install fine.
Anyone else having problems installing Gear Apps from Samsung apps?
This is on a stock note 3 stock gear. Installing eventually times out actually installing nothing. But then the samsung apps thinks it's been installed. Now I have 10 apps or so that are not on the gear that the app store thinks are downloaded and cant remove. Any help out there?
I have power cycled the phone and the gear. I have disconnected the Gear and added it back as a new gear.
Bump am I the only one with problems?

Had the same problem... when trying to install from Note III phone the Galaxy Gear Watch, the Samsung Note III phone software got stuck/hung. Also, calls out originating from the watch were not performing correctly. Lastly, I could not use the Samsung App store as it would show an error saying something along the lines of not being logged in to access apps or some such. Only remedy seems to be to wipe the Note 3 and watch and start over again. Here is what I did:
Backup everything to Kies 3 (though other methods should be ok I assume).
Reset Note III and watch back to factory.
After reboot I made sure the phone/watch interface worked. Verifying this, then restored phone using Kies 3.
Of course there is always a bit more work than this, as the Phone's home screen/sub-screens layout need to be redone and other bits needs to be manually changed back to your preferences. Also, some of your e-mail account may need to be re-entered/reconfig as they were deleted and not restored. Took me ~60 min and now everything, including sideloading with Wondershare MobileGo, works great.
Same here although I am using a gs4. Everything works fine but I can't install new apps I am using 4.2.2 I figured that might have something to do with it so I'll wait until 4.3 and go from there.

Samsung apps
After some tests I think that the problem is located in the Samsung apps itself.
Since we (may be all of us) have custom ROM, Samsung apps is not correctly installed or is in a older version. Remove the actualization of the Samsung apps in the app manager and restart the phone.
After that open again the samsung apps and it will install actualizations.
Some force closes after that open the gear manager and you will be able to install apps to the watch.
Seem confusing but worked for me. Already in tall ever note and line after that.
Hi, I am having a problem installing apps via the Google play store on my PC. When I try to do this, I get an error on the phone "Error while downloading "App Name". "App Name" could not be downloaded due to an error. (906).
If I click on the error, it takes me to the app on Google play on the phone where I can successfully download and install it directly from the phone. So I have a workaround, but the phone itself is second hand so I am worried it is faulty and causing this problem (and therefore who knows what other problems might be around the corner?).
As a bit of background info, the phone came rooted on 534 firmware and I updated to 257 via PC companion. I knew this would lose root but I don't want the phone rooted anyway (don't use any rooted apps etc). However SuperSU was installed and now I can't get rid of it (unless I downgrade, root again, then remove SuperSU and upgrade once more). I don't know if the fact it was rooted has caused the problem, or perhaps the upgrade while rooted and now having SuperSU stuck on my phone is causing the problem (I've never bothered with rooting and the like for years so while I know about it, I do not know the ins and outs of rooting and it's consequences).
My question is: Does anyone else have this problem or is it likely to be a fault with the phone?
Try to clear market data and or cache.
Is it for paid apps ? You have access in your country ?
Sometime I have market error with a yellow triangle in notif bar but it is always because of network connections/ wifi. Once reconnected it is ok.
Thanks for the reply.
I've tried clearing cache and data, I've even factory reset the phone but still no good. It is for all apps, paid and free. The network connection seems to be solid (or at least it would be an awful coincidence if every time for 100+ app installs when I try to install from the pc the network happens to be down, but when I then go straight to the phone and install from there the network is back up again).
Just a question, you want to install app via your comp on your phone when it's pluged to USB cable?
Personally i use google Chrome to Phone for sending immediatly links to my phone, that works also with google app link, that will automatically launch the google store on the app you selected before sending the link.
Also rooting your phone is really necessary? Many people root their phone for doing nothing really necessary...
Nope I don't want to do this while my phone is plugged in to the computer, the phone is in my pocket while I am trying to use the Google app store on my computer to install dozens of apps to the phone.
I know rooting the phone isn't necessary, but, as I explain, the phone was already rooted and I have no need of root. Whether the phone is or isn't rooted I don't mind either way, I was just mentioning the root info in case that is a clue as to why I am having this problem.
No offense intended (really!) but I'm not concerned with how you personally use Chrome to install apps to your phone. I am explaining a problem I have with my phone and wondering if it is a known issue that other people have or whether it is a fault with my phone. I have a workaround that I can use as I explained in the first post, but I am less concerned with what the problem is and more concerned with why the problem is there in the first place (as it may be mean I'm going to run into more problems in the future).
Anywho I can only assume it isn't a common problem, so I'll investigate further.
Cheers
So I got a new toy. A Samsung Gear Live. I've had it for a week and so far really like it. The biggest issue I seem to be having is the companion apps. I don't know why, but they refuse to work. Everytime I try to use one I get an error message to the tune of, " not connected to a device with this application" or "lost connection to phone". This is clearly untrue. I can see that I'm still connected and even the device itself acknowledges it. I just can't figure it out.
I have attempted a power cycle, using the restart function, a hard reboot, even reseting it back to factory. I rebooted my phone, Uninstalled and reinstalled the apps on the phone, and still no luck. I'm at a loss. Anyone who knows what to do on this front would be very welcome.
What are companion apps?
Sent from my SM-N910T3 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Companion apps, are the apps that are activated on your smart watch. Like the dominoes easy order app, or a bank app that let's you check your balances without pulling out your phone.
I did find my problem however. It seems that my gear live was shipped with a dev kit. I had to completely reflash it to stock software to get it to run correctly.
How did you figure out it was a dev kit? Im having similar problems. Thanks.
Fixed the problem resetting the watch and reinstalling the Android wear app. However now in the storange manager its showing three of several apps. How to fix please?
You can find if it has a Dev kit under the settings. Under build I believe. It should be a set of numbers with "dev" somewhere in it. If that's there, it's gonna hold up your regular use of the watch. It caused the apps not to work right or not to show up, etc. I'll see if I can find the link I used before for how I reset the watch to stock firmware.
So I rooted my phone because I accidentally rebooted an android 6.1 samsung galaxy s5 phone clear of all first year baby pics that I was trying to get back. It was an external reboot by google. I unsuccessfully tried to get the pictures back and lost all baby pics. So now I noticed that moviepass among other apps aren't showing in the play store anymore even though my device is still compatible with the app. It's now showing as not compatible because of rooting. I wish I had known this before I rooted but unlikely it would've stopped me as I was desperate to get the pictures back. I downloaded magisck and when I tried to install the new version of Moviepass I got a message that said something like 'not given permissions to magisk shell" What else can I do? Is it easy to unroot the phone? I am not a developer and have no tech experience or ever took a tech class but trying to learn more so baby steps please if anyone can help.
I was told there was a Note 5 at work last week and told no one can use it at is broken. Up for the challenge I thought I could root it, custom rom etc etc and all would be good.
Unfortunately I think this phone may be unusable however if anyone has any suggestions I would be happy to try.
The phone was previously used by an employee who left over a year ago, went overseas and is not contactable. This same person set up the phone with their google account.
It looks like a factory reset was done to try access the phone however this presents the problem that now the phone states "this device was reset. To continue sign in with a Google account the was previously used on the account."
This means I cannot get into settings, developer mode, usb debugging. Without this I cannot root the phone as I keep getting a fail on Oden when I try load cf root. Also cannot load TWRP through Oden.
I have tried reloading the latest samsung firmware but even with this I am still asked to Verify the account before proceeding.
I've tried a bunch of hacks from various Youtube videos but it looks like Google has patched all the previous solutions.
Pretty much have hit a wall. Anyone with any suggestions (if possible) greatly appreciated.
